Hi everyone welcome this is Lina welcome and welcome back to Big it up this uh is a new episode of the series um DOL salato Italian baking series and since we are uh in Easter time I want to share with you some new recipes uh and those are
The recipes that we actually make uh in Italy on on Easter time so uh today we will be making what we call Tora pascalina which is um Easter pie so it’s very simple to make you can use a pie crust but I wanted to make it simple for
You guys if you are not comfortable with making pie crust so um we are using today puff pastry you can buy a frozen one make sure that you T in the refrigerator and good to go get a rolling pin and make the feeling and you are going to end up
With an amazing pie okay let’s get started so for the feeling as I said we are going to use puff pastry today uh the recipe is in the description box below there is a link that will take you to the website and you can download uh
The recipe from there we will be making Tora pasqualina if you just connected is an Italian Easter pie we are focusing every Wednesday on uh Italian bacing so you welcome to join every Wednesday and let’s get started so I have my uh boiled spinach just for 5 minutes not too much
You don’t want to end up with the p rotta cheeses again we are using parmesan I’m using parmesan cheese and picino cheese you can use only parmesan if you want make sure that is parmesano regano Parmesan it’s a little bit too generic most of the time
It’s not a good quality if you can find parmesan orano uh please use that one let’s mix it a little bit how are we doing did you guys watch uh the previous live mhm we made foni Fon abesi which is a typical um kind of snack that um we made on Easter it’s
Usually from Ab Bruto it’s a region from Italy I don’t know if you ever been there but if you go to Italy uh I will highly recommend to go to abuto there are mountains and Beach uh just 40 minutes driving from each other so can you imagine people are amazing food is
Fantastic and I highly recommend to do that so if you just connected here I have ricotta spinach parmesan cheese and pecorino cheese I’m going to add the egg by the way I’m as always making a smaller recipe we just added one egg or half egg in this case because I’m I’m making a
Smaller recipe and then you want to add a little bit of pepper black pepper fresh grated notm We’re going to add a little bit of salt again not too much because the cheeses are already quite salty and there the last ingredients and it’s the last ingredient just because it’s optional you guys can go with the Bruto or you don’t but you don’t have to
It definitely add more flavor I’m using here uh pruto Coto which is a baked ham basically choed oops what are you guys making for Easter do you have your uh menu and we are almost ready to put this TI together that’s these three it’s better if it’s cold from the
Refrigerator it’s definitely easier uh to work with when it’s like that okay so one thing you want to do guys is to make it to make the dough very thin so that you don’t have to use so first of all make it bigger so if you are good you should be
Able to use only one and I’ll show show you how to save some dough here I have my tin uh baking tin I think this is around I think this this is a 6 one but you can use something bigger for the entire recipe and I believe this is a 10 or
12 uh but for something small like this all good with one uh puff so just do just place the center here and then to measure it properly to have the right size place the center here if you guys can see it and then just add a little bit for the
Height so that you can get a perfect size there you go and now so far this is you want to cut around the bottom I just go half of a hinch over so that we really have enough and I’m going to show you something else how can you use one sheet
Only with the scraps don’t throw them away and don’t need it and fold it and then fold it again now with this one this one is going to stay aside because then we’re going to roll it for the top remember make layers layers layers this way all
You have to do is just to roll it puff Bas tree is with with puff puff pastry puff pastry is nothing but a laminated dough with uh dough and butter dough and butter dough and butter so when you have some scrubs you don’t want to knad it but you just want to put
Again those layer on top of each other and then with the rolling pain um you make it you reuse it basically you don’t need to use any oil spray grease nothing anything like that and you put it on top of the and now what you want to do very gently
Don’t pull it just let it drop at the very bottom you want to feel those edges very gentle drop the drop the dough down to the edges here inside and leave some hanging out some door hanging out hi hi guys I see if people more people connected I was not
Expecting so many today actually nobody uh joined the event nobody like even please my request uh I love love love doing this workshops you guys know this are for free help me the only thing that I ask is some help to um with liking subscribing and when it comes to the
Facebook event just please share and say going so that it’s got that Facebook is going to share it more and more people uh will know about it and more people will watch the workshop and so uh I can make this channel sustainable all right there it is now with the
Fork we just poke the bottom a little bit just like this set at the side and with those scrubs now as I said we are trying to use only one sheet and a little bit of flour sure why not roll the dough and you make it as big as
Possible this is ready good to go cut some parts that you think just to make it kind of even it resemble a SCH here it is and now let’s feel the pie here we have our beautiful filling made of if you join if you just join Try to make enough space so that doesn’t overflow I love this idea I like this pie for this reason have you ever seen a pie where you put eggs like this I don’t want to fall see eggs yes Rosa of course you know have you ever made this pie
Rosa okay and now on top of those two eggs just a little bit of pepper I said a little bit not a lot there is enough pepper okay perfect got hise add a little bit of Salt and now it’s time to top it with our other layer this one right on top you can lightly stretch it that’s okay and then we are going to we’re going to fold it lightly stretch it if you feel like it’s too short and then you fold
It the way you like it doesn’t have to be precise don’t worry guys have fun when you make this kind of stuff it’s something that you can totally make with your kids actually and um yeah do you like it yes no you can send likes and the last thing to do now
Is clean up a little bit egg wash egg wash is nothing but one egg all egg beaten lightly with the fork it makes it easier and you can add a little bit of water you can add a little bit of milk you can add cream uh just a
Little bit don’t go too crazy if you don’t like to use eggs totally fine you can use cream you can use milk uh they have enough protein to allow the top to become to look golden brown it’s just for for some coloring right so don’t worry about it you can also use cream
Only actually 35% cream or meal don’t worry anything as long as you basically brush something on it one other thing that I was thinking today is that I wish I had some sesame seeds um once you brush the top with some egg wash you can also add
Some sesame seeds maybe I think that will look nice the only thing that you want to do on top of that is just to cut a little bit on top of just a little bit not too much know that the spinach is here and the spinach is also here that’s
It and you do some and you cut a little bit vertical horizontal and vertical just to resemble across okay I’m glad glad you like it so beautiful super cute now you bake this beauty at if you’re making a small one I will say 30 minutes 35 30 35 minutes if
You’re making a bigger one around 45 minutes and the temperature is 400° fah or 200 so 390 400° F or 200° 200° C and now I have it baked it for you and I’m going to cut it so that I can show you how it looks like I hope that was baked
Enough now look how pretty this is let’s see it’s still warm and I hope hope that the eggs are cooked all right let’s cut it by the way SM this smells so so good uh My Hope Is that the slice is going to show half of the
Egg what do you think is going to happen kind of so this is one side without the egg let me put it on the plate this is it it’s just perfect oh thank you so much Dora what do you think cheese and pepper and Spinach it cuts amazingly well I’m very happy with the way it turned out thank you so much for watching me the Easter series Italian baking is basically over with this recipe but we will continue to make uh I will continue to make new recipes on Wednesdays Italian baking Italian
